| Of all the ski areas I've visited in my lifetime, I never saw a snowfence at a ski area until I visited Great Divide. At the summit of the ski area you will see snow fences everywhere. The fences are there so as to prevent the snow from blowing off the bare areas of the mountain - Great Divide can get some pretty high winds at times. Additionally, as Great Divide doesn't get a ton of snow - the snow fences sort of act to "conserve" the snow by piling up huge amounts of it on the ski runs. As you can see in this picture - it works. |
